London | A Cartographic History 1746-1950 | 200 Years of Folding Maps Boyle, Lucinda [and] Ralph Hyde [John Rocque | Richard Horwood] (Book #ID 101517) Published by Countrywide Editions, Wycombe Buckinghamshire First Edition 2002. 2002. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original black cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine, archive colour street map to the front end papers, archive London Underground map to the rear end papers. 4to. 12½'' x 9''. 1 of 2000 copies printed and bound at the De Montfort Press. Contains (xi)-1, 161 printed pages of text with 100 illustrations throughout. Drawn together from an exceptional collection of folding maps, this bibliographical catalogue literally charts social, historical and political development of London from its days as a burgeoning, almost pastoral city in the 1740's to being one of the busiest metropolises in the world. Designed for practical use, folding maps first emerged towards the end of the eighteenth century due to the efforts of one man, John Rocque, a French surveyor who dedicated 9 years of his life to developing a large-scale survey of the densely populated area of the capital. From this first map the collection traces the history of London through its cartography, from the Richard Horwood map of 1792, showing every road, square, alley, courtyard and house (considered to be the largest and most important map of London in the 18th Century) to a very early map of the underground in 1922 and the development of the now indispensable A-Z.

He shared the antiquarian interests of his friend and fellow architectural draughtsman John Carter (1748-1817) and both artists made extensive studies of the antiquities of the palace and abbey. Capon was one of the earliest of such draughtsmen to distinguish the architecture of various periods by representing them using different colours.

The plan of the former was purchased by the Society of Antiquaries in 1826 for 120 guineas, and was engraved by James Basire (1796-1869) and published by the society in 1828.

First edition in publisher's original colour illustrated stiff card wrap covers [soft back]. 8vo. 9½'' x 7¼''. The Worshipful Company of Skinners is one of the 'Great Twelve' Livery Companies of the City of London. It was originally an association of those engaged in the trade of skins and furs and was granted Royal Charter in 1327 from Edward III. The Company was authorised to regulate and control the fur trade throughout the country. In this copiously illustrated book, the author shows how some of the most powerful merchants of the day were able to set up great trading empires, which allowed them and the Skinners' Company to acquire the wealth that enabled them to found schools, almshouses, and other charities for the benefit of the young, the needy and the elderly. This caring tradition has endured for over five hundred years and, as the author points out, by learning to adapt and to seek out new challenges, the Company is still a powerful force for good in the 21st Century.
